President Uribe's Hidden Past:
http://www.colombiajournal.org/colombia185.htm
Background on Ingrid Betancourt (the leftist detainee)
http://www.global.greens.org.au/colombia.html
The latter is the Leftist Green woman candidate that was "rescued" while McCain visited Columbia pushing the military bravado campaign that McCain wants serving a false flag for his run for U.S. presidency.
The contractor hostages could possibly be gov't/private contractor employees keeping the progressive candidate in captivity like the military coup in Myanmar did with Aung San Suu Kyi
7/03/08, Nighline was talking as if the hostages were used to being moved by helicopter…. they "faked" them out wearing Che t-shirts… sounds so cheesey and unreal…
Meanwhile Blackwater, a private military contractor, has bought planes from Brazil.
Is Blackwater already in Columbia? (Drug War Purge on Google?) Mexican Drug War contract.
The Farc was so loosely knit(?), they could be used as a scapegoat to retain Uribe's opposition?

Comment from above site:
"There's a very weird disinfotainment flick out in the sphere entitled La Sierra …. attempting to portray the FARC as nothing more than scrawny (and I mean SCRAWNY) street kids with guns and out of control sex drives -- no political nada -- and then, coup de grace, there's a slice in at the end showing the paras handing in their weapons (and you know how pumped up on steroids those guys are) trying to put the kids in that category as well. Incredible blow job. Worth watching, I think. Just cuidado.
It's not like they aren't real street kids trying to make it in "modern" Colombia.
Here's the netflix blurb :
Colombia-based journalists Scott Dalton and Margarita Martinez introduce us to a nation at civil war by hitting the streets of Medellín, a dangerous city ruled by a fierce paramilitary gang. By focusing on three vastly different personalities -- Edison, a gang leader; Cielo, a widowed teenage mother; and Jesus, a drug-using thug -- the filmmakers draw us into their world and capture startling moments of truth and sorrow."
